Barni wants UK to ban Fazal’s entry

KARACHI: Ansar Barni, the Chairman Ansar Barni Trust – a welfare body, has called upon British government for banning entry of Maulana Fazlur Rehman in UK, Geo News reported Monday night.

In a notice sent to UK’s Foreign Ministry, Ansar Barni, reasoning his call, stated that Maulana Fazalur Rehman’s political background was plagued with a fanaticism and religious extremism, highlighting his prevailing contacts with Taliban.
